Do-Over

Redoing Haunt Mechanic

New • 17 Feb 2023 • Asked by admiralsmash-blog • 54 Comments

If you could go back in time and get a do-over on one mechanic, to fix it knowing what you know now, which would you pick?

I think the mechanic with the highest potential to the worst original execution is haunt.

Brothers' War Set Chronology

New • 20 Jun 2022 • Asked by schizofujoshi • 32 Comments

is the brothers' war set later this year something happening chronologically with or relating to the current narrative? or is it completely detached, and just a do-over of the original story?

All I can say at this point is the Brothers’ War takes place in the past as it is the actual Brothers’ War.

Ludevic Redo

New • 28 Oct 2016 • Asked by sultaiascendancy-blog • 87 Comments

So could we get a do-over for Ludevic in another set someday? Preferably graveyard-related, zombie token producing, and either UB, UBR, or UBRG in color identity? I know that many, many people would like to see this.

There’s nothing stopping us from making another Ludevic one day.

Eldrazi Identity

I know you have touched upon this, but do you wish that Kozilek and Ulamog could have used the colourless matters theme? I understand the limitations on why it didn't but if you had a do-over on it, would you?

No. I would want each Titan to have its own identity. Colorless mana also requires a significant support that I wouldn’t have wanted to put in for each set.

Dinosaurs as Icons

New • 03 Feb 2015 • Asked by yoshimario40 • 32 Comments

In magic do-over land, could dinosaurs have been Green's iconic? I feel like they're perfect for the job description.

Dinosaurs would feel out of place in many worlds.

Mana System Importance

New • 31 Jan 2015 • Asked by emu-on-the-loose • 71 Comments

In Magic Do-Over Land, do you think the game would have been better if there had been two library zones: one for spells and one for lands? It would get rid of screw / flood without eliminating other draw randomness.

If you believe that would be better for the game, you don’t truly understand what the mana system does for Magic. Being able to always hit your spells on a defined known turn every game does not make the game better. In fact, it makes it much worse.

Karona Redo Chances

New • 30 Dec 2014 • Asked by zeroephyrt-deactivated20170126 • 25 Comments

Would you "redo" Karona in a supplemental product? As in, like how Avacyn and Ob Nixilis have two cards?

I’m not sure Karona is popular enough to warrant the do-over. There are many popular characters that never got their first card.

Flash Mechanic Redesign

New • 02 Feb 2013 • Asked by doortonothingness • 9 Comments

In your hypothetical Magic do-over, would you make Flash an alternate casting cost?

No, I would make instant a supertype so creatures with flash would just turn into Instant Creatures.

Set Disappointment

New • 01 Mar 2012 • Asked by hextraordinary-deactivated20140 • 3 Comments

What set have you worked on that you were most disappointed in? Also, on an unrelated note, I really love how open you are with fans.

Of all the sets I’ve worked on, Eventide is the one I would most like to have a do-over.
